At a glance, it’s easy to assume that the musical, Kinky Boots Manila, is all about LGBT and it can easily be taken as that especially if you have not seen the show and have only seen the pictures on social media and read some reviews. I’ve watched the show four times before I caught on with some of the dialogues because, well, it’s easy to get diverted to the fabulous entertainment right before you. But in my humble opinion, to say that it’s only about LGBT undermines the genius of playwright Harvey Fierstein. How do I put it? For […]
RECIPES: Healthy snacks and meals for your homeschoolers with Easy Pha-max Wheatgrass
I don’t know if you’ve heard about how poor nutrition has affected many kids’ performances in school, especially those in impoverished areas. Those kids who are forced to work after school to help earn money to feed their families don’t only have difficulty keeping up with their lessons because of exhaustion, but also because of bad nutrition. They simply have nothing healthy to eat. Funny enough, kids from families that are better off financially suffer from poor eating habits that affect their school standing. Studies have shown that the quality of food has a lot to do with a person’s […]
Easy Recipes: No Knead Artisan Bread
I love baking! It helps me relax and take my mind off the stressful and sometimes, dreary stuff that goes on in my head sometimes.

A Mom’s Day Out Treat
Last Wednesday, Sun Life Financial treated mom bloggers to Mom’s Day Out at I’M hotel. We were welcomed to a hearty buffet at Bloom restaurant in the 4th floor where I enjoyed Japanese Tempura and assorted Maki. Yes, you read it right! I’m now starting to appreciate Japanese food more. I was actually disappointed to not have eaten sushi, haha! But I’m so bad with buffets, I just couldn’t go for another serving. I do want to go back there with the hubby with whom I’d be less shy to pig out, hahaha! Stock meal Buffet was lovely. I shared table […]
When you feel like a failure at motherhood
As I write this, I’m feeling physically exhausted. But I can’t just walk to my bed and lie down, which is what I really want to do. I’ve got an article to polish, pending blogs to work on, dishes to wash, clothes to prepare, a house to tidy up, and a million other things that I have no idea where or how to start on. So instead, I make myself coffee and try to keep myself up. A fellow work-from-home mom once shared in our group that her motivation for work are her monthly bills. I thought it was funny then, but in […]
